A cosmetic or dermatological composition in the form of a stable oil-in-water emulsion comprises (a) from 15 to 50 percent by weight of at least one vegetable oil containing at least 40 percent linoleic acid triglyceride, (b) from 2 to 7 percent by weight of a self-emulsifiable composition comprising from 60 to 90 percent by weight of at least one fatty alcohol having from 12 to 22 carbon atoms, from 10 to 40 percent by weight of at least one alkylpolysaccharide wherein the alkyl moiety has from 12 to 22 carbon atoms, and from 0 to 5 percent by weight of polysaccharide, (c) from 0.5 to 5 percent by weight of a coemulsifying agent selected from the group consisting of at least one saturated fatty alcohol having from 16 to 32 carbon atoms, a saturated fatty acid having from 16 to 32 carbon atoms and a mixture thereof, (d) from 0.1 to 1 percent by weight of a gelling agent, the remainder consisting essentially of an aqueous phase.

Cosmetic water emulsion containing at least one vegetable oil

A cosmetic or dermatological composition containing a mixture of at least one type-III ceramide in the form of a single stereoisomer and of at least one type-V ceramide. This mixture is in particular a mixture having a melting point which is much lower than that of the type-III ceramide. This composition is intended in particular for moisturizing dry skins.

Cosmetic or dermatological composition containing a mixture of ceramides

A skin-cleansing composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion. This emulsion comprises an emulsifying agent of hydrophilic/lipophilic balance below about 12 and lipid grains containing a cleansing agent. The invention composition constitutes a '3 in 1' product, which simultaneously allows cleansing, scrubbing and care of the skin.

Cleaning composition containing lipid grains

Powders that have been obtained from a homogenized and dehydrated oil-in-water emulsion containing (a) a structuring and emulsifying agent, (b) at least one fat, (c) at least one cosmetically active substance, and (d) an aqueous phase, may be reconstituted to regive the oil-in-water emulsion by hydration. The powder can be used, as is, in cosmetic or dermatological products.
